Welcome to Pact

Since 2004, Pact has facilitated the efficient flow of grant funds to over 100 PEPFAR partners and sub-partners in South Africa playing valuable roles in the response to HIV and AIDS, while ensuring compliance with USAID rules and regulations as well as general principles of sound management. Pact’s strategy integrates grant making with
capacity building for enhancing effectiveness and sustainability through the development and implementation of documented organizational systems and human capacity development at management and operational levels. Through rigorous grant management and individualized capacity building, partners have dramatically increased the scope, scale and quality of services they
offer through all nine provinces of South Africa.

Pact’s grant management strategy is guided by principles of participation and flexibility, emphasizing results and ensuring coordination. As one of its core values, Pact believes in grant management through partnership and adopts a peer approach to build sustainable institutional capacity and increase the effectiveness of local partners to
achieve expanded and quality services.
